    Radar starting to look a little iffy...

    I think it is going to get rained off today but as it stands I firmly believe if we play all day England are winning this.

    I am surprised at the lack of bouncers from India. Especially in Krishna's spell to Crawley, he could have gone all out bouncers to him. England can't duck every ball.

    Mohammed Siraj's scuds through and RIshabh Pant takes it on his knee while collecting on the ground.

    The wicketkeeper seems to be in some discomfort while flexing the joint, but isn't going to go off.

    England take a trio of singles off the over.

    Which, if any, pre-Bazball England teams would have batted to win in this situation?

    Ben Duckett is playing it nicely here. He is watching it closely, playing the ball really late. That is one of his main strengths.

    It is quite hard for the bowlers because of the height difference between these two.

    A pair of two for Ben Duckett off Bumrah, working the India seamer into the leg side.

    He takes a single to point off the final ball of the over to retain the strike.

    It is raining quite steadily now.

    WinViz at 40% for India is strong. I’d be worried if I was an Indian fan. Bumrah has quite a few in his legs already and can’t bowl forever, 10 wickets in two sessions is a tall order with a strong batting line up. That ball is getting older…

    A relief to start on time, hopefully the weather behaves itself. Bazball can do the rest!

    Siraj is bowling well here, he is getting the ball in the right zone. India know they have to make the most of when the ball is doing something.

    Lovely stuff from Mohammed Siraj, swinging his first ball into Crawley then sending the next delivery away, with both beating the bat.

    Crawley then gets a single with an inside edge into the leg side.

    A brilliant ball by Bumrah. We all know he has the ability to get three quick wickets at any stage.

  12. Eng 119-0published at 31 overs

    Duckett 65, Crawley 42

    Jasprit Bumrah to get India back under way.

    His fourth ball thunders into the pads of Zak Crawley and India's players go up as one with an appeal.

    It's obviously heading down the leg side though and there's no hint of a review.

    England run a leg bye, two runs off the over.

    The clouds have gotten a bit thicker, but let's hope they rain stays away. There was a sprinkle over lunch.

    Out come the players.

    We'll get going on time - never in doubt.

    Rishabh Pant is carrying Ben Duckett's bat on the walk to the middle so he can have a look at it - hopefully he won't be taking any edges from it.

    Matthew, you're taking me on an absolute rollercoaster here.

    It does look like it was just precautionary, the India players are gathering on the boundary.

    Covers coming off...

    Yes, I'm afraid to say we've watching the covers rolling on at Headingley.

    It doesn't appear to be raining especially heavily and the ground staff aren't deploying especially rapidly, so hopefully this is mostly precautionary.

    Still, maybe expect a bit of a delay.

    There may be a time when England will have to up the ante to Bumrah, but he can't bowl all day.

    There are smiles all around from India but the little things aren't going their way.

    WinViz has this right on a knife edge.

    If 10 wickets in two sessions seems unlikely for India, remember the second one could go on pretty late - we've still got plenty of overs left in the day.
